DAILY WORKER, N YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1929 Five Battle to Control Standard of Indiana’s Exploitations May Bring M eeerowmmmcecn< \ARINOR, OLGIN IN CELLS IN TOMBS REBEL AGAINST ROCKEFELLERS FIGHTS FOR JOB Stewart Won’t Accept Defeat on Proxies If Stewart interests are defeated in the Standard Oil of Indiana stock- holders’ election for a board of direc- tors, to be held March 7, Stewart will take the case to the courts to prevent the new board from depos- ing him from the control of the com- pany, on the assertion that success of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in re- establishing his control over the Standard of Indiana would violate the decree of the Supreme Court of the United States, which on May 15, 1911, caused the Rockefeller in- terests to give up, as an illegal combination in restraint of trade, what was stated by the court to be monopolistic control over 90 per cent of the oil industry in the United Stators, The preparations for the legal move became known here today, but no official confirmation or denial could be secured from the Stewart campaign office, Stewart Trespasses. Since the “unscrambling” of the Standard Oil trust 18 years ago, the various companies of the. Stand- ard Oil continued to operate in fact their monopoly, through a “commu- nity of interest.” The first real dis- comfort for the Rockefeller family came when Stewart led the Standard of Indiana into fresh pastures pre- empted by other Standard Oil com- panies, competing with the Rocke- feller concerns in Kentucky, and fighting, along with Standard of New York, to oust Standard of New Jersey from the Spanish and near eastern markets, Stewart also participated in the Teapot Dome Scandal asa partner with Sinclair, a Rockefeller rival.

Far from permitting a single note of struggle to enter into the pro- ceedings, the well oiled arrange- ments guaranteed the main theme of “peaceful means” a monopoly in all speeches, Printing pressmen employers were invited to the meeting. Major Ber- ry’s remarks were addressed mainly to them. To the workers present he stressed conciliation and appealed for faith in his leadership. For those in disagreement with his poli- cies, he had plain words: “Throw them out.” Berry—Corporation Head. “We do not gather here in a bel- ligerent state of mind,” said Presi- dent Berry,” but with a view of making the great business: in which we are engaged profitable for all in it. We must set aside the dis- satisfactions and grievances of yes- terday that the printing industry may take a more generous view.” “The employers will not find us| Communists or Bolsheviks, but American trade unionists with an in- terest in the industry as a whole. We are a great business institution and you here are stockholders. We have the article to sell and we have the arguments to sell it.

The three locals have a total mem- bership of about 5,000. Most of the large printing plants in the city, like the Donnelly Co., are unorgan- ized. It is to the heads of these large commercial plants that Berry is making his plea, In addition to consolidating his control over the locals, the mass meeting had the added value of showing Donnelly and the other open-shop houses that Berry’s control is unquestioned, When Berry came to Chicago sev- eral years ago he was not permitted to speak to the Franklin Local, No. 3, The sentiment against him wes overwhelming and a group of pro- gressives carried on-a_ struggle against him and the Cuneo Press, against which they were striking, at er eee Needle Trades Workers Dance.
